LOGINJELENA“Oh hell no!” Calhoun growls out and next thing, my back is on the bed and he covers me up with his heat,Calhoun lets out a particularly deep growl, and I feel it rumble beneath my palm.I lift my head, looking at him with an innocent expression.“What?” I ask.He stares at me.For a moment, I think he might actually have something to say, but instead, he lets out a breathless laugh.“Nothing, sweetheart.”Nothing?I almost roll my eyes.This man is impossible.Before I can come up with another response, his hands find my waist, and he draws me closer.The change in his expression makes my little victory feel rather short-lived.I swallow.Perhaps I should have remembered that I am dealing with Calhoun.He has a way of making even the simplest gestures feel like a challenge, and I am beginning to suspect that he has no intention of making this easy for me.Still, I don't pull away.If anything, I find myself leaning into him.I feel him at my entrance one moment and the next,
JELENA“You taste so good. Fucking hell!”He growls, and the vibration of his voice sends tingles racing up my spine.As I slowly begin to come back to myself, my stomach feels like a bottomless pit of exhaustion. My entire body feels pleasantly weak, and all I can manage to do is breathe.It takes me a moment to register that he has finally stopped what he is doing. He straightens up, leaving me with an unfamiliar sense of emptiness that makes me wonder whether I should be disappointed or grateful for the brief reprieve.“Give me a minute. You didn't think that's all, did you?” he asks, amusement evident in his voice.“Uhm... I could go to my room now,” I suggest, sounding completely out of place.Everything around me seems to be slowly tuning out, and I am beginning to wonder whether my body remembers how to function normally.“Oh, hell, you won't, my lady,” he replies sweetly.Sweetly?I almost laugh at the ridiculousness of that statement, but the sight of him removing the rest of
JELENA“Why!” I let out a painful cry.Calhoun chuckles instead, and before I can process what is happening, he lifts my thighs and wraps my legs around his waist. With his feet firmly planted on the ground, he rises to his full height, leaving me clinging to him.I let out a startled yelp.“What the hell!” I shout.“No cussing, young lady,” he says, making his way towards a door with a playful bounce in his steps.Unfortunately, the movement catches me off guard, and I yelp again.“Fear not, my lady. I wouldn't dream of dropping you. Rest assured, I have much better plans for us tonight,” he says, a hint of mischief evident in his voice.At this point, my heart is beating ridiculously fast, my entire body feels sensitive, and I can barely keep my thoughts in order.I am finally inside the dragon's pod, the room is decorated in shades of grey and black, giving it a rather dark and sophisticated appearance. However, I barely have enough time to take in my surroundings before my back me
JELENAJust as I suspected earlier, the softness of his lips catches me off guard.I know I expect them to be soft, but nothing prepares me for the actual texture. It is almost ridiculous how something so simple can make me forget just how wrong the fire I am playing with really is. can make me forget just how wrong the fire I am playing with really is.His warm breath fans across my face as his lips brush against mine, so softly, almost as though he is asking for permission with every little movement.Then his tongue gently parts my lips, and the unfamiliar wetness sends a strange sensation through me. It is a little shocking, but I don't have the strength to pull away. Or perhaps I simply don't want to.I am not entirely sure which.One of his hands settles around my neck, while the other moves to the back of it, gently drawing me closer. This time, the kiss deepens, and his tongue explores my mouth with a confidence that makes my head spin.It feels as though he is searching for so
JELENAWith the little sounds that occasionally slip out of him, a part of me feels strangely fulfilled somehow.After we're done with the pie, a few maids come in to clear the table, and just when I think the evening is winding down, he surprises me with a question.“Coffee?” Calhoun asks, an expression on his face that I can't quite decipher, accompanied by a wicked glint in his eyes that seems to promise something more if I say yes.“Uhhmm, I guess,” I respond skeptically.“Alright then. Since we're done with dinner, perhaps we should move inside, somewhere more comfortable.”He says this as he rises to his feet, stretching out a hand towards me.“Uhm... oh... inside? Should we really do that?” I stammer, suddenly finding my words difficult to arrange.“We shouldn't? Scared, perhaps?” he asks, a smug expression settling on his face as the corner of his mouth lifts.“Should I be?” I shoot back, suddenly more defiant.My weakness has always been a challenge, especially one that comes
JELENA “Can you come upstairs?” I type before clicking send to Calhoun. The night breeze lifts my hair away from my face, and there is something soothing about it. It brushes against my skin, loosening the tension in my shoulders and allowing me to relax, even if only a little. I am seated outside on the balcony in Calhoun's quarters, surrounded by the quiet of the night. From here, I can see almost everything, every angle of the vast land stretching before me. The view is breathtaking, especially with the moon hanging above us and the stars scattered across the dark sky. The guards help me set everything up earlier before leaving me to enjoy the rest of the evening alone. I have been waiting for Calhoun's response for five minutes now, but my phone remains silent. Not a single message. I stare at the screen, wondering if he has decided to ignore me or if he is genuinely busy. Knowing him, both possibilities are equally likely. I am about to put my phone away when I hear footst
JELENAMy heart still hurts even though it has been a whole week since I caught Alice and Aaron tangled together at his house and the tears have not stopped since that day.You would think catching them cheating would make it easier to let go, easier to hate him, easier to move on, but somehow the
JELENA“Open it,” I snap, my voice sharper than I intend, but I don’t take it back.“Miss Jelena,” he says carefully, stepping forward as if to intercept me. “Master Aaron is currently unavailable.”Unavailable, the word grates.“I didn’t ask,” I reply, already pushing past him.His hand comes up n
JELENAWith my mind made up to spend the day with Aaron, I head straight to my closet, already scanning through my dresses as I try to decide what to wear.I don’t know where this excitement is coming from.Maybe it’s because it has been so long since I last saw him or maybe it’s because he has bee
JELENA“Ma, you sent for me?” I say as I step into the room and come face to face with my stepmother, Vanessa.Her room or should I say their room has always been large, almost unnecessarily so. It carries a kind of quiet luxury that feels cold rather than comforting, the heavy curtains are drawn h
